01:25 PM - The Pinkmeat
The story of The Pinkmeat goes something like this - they existed as a band for a while, then they disappeared, then I hunted them down and talked them into playing at the Deli Magazine party that I threw in January. Now they're fully back in action (with a new drummer - Sam from Plastic East, who also played that Deli show) and are releasing a new ep. The release will be celebrated tonight with an all-girl show at Fat Baby. Other bands on the bill include Broadband, Bruises, and Russian Vogue. The Pinkmeat lists their genre of music as "Experimental/Funk/Metal" and that's about as perfect description as I could ever come up with (minus funk, though if you drop the "k" then fun definitely applies.) There's more than just a hint of riot grrrl style in the music, but there's not all that much anger in the lyrics. Taly and company are out for a good time, more along the lines of The Donnas or Morningwood, but with much sharper teeth and dirtier thoughts - other applicable references are Joan Jett, The Hard Lessons. A word of warning: Beware, as Taly just might try and get down on the floor and hump you silly during their set. MP3's from myspace: Related: There will be another Deli Magazine benefit party at Asterisk Art Space in Brooklyn this Saturday. Man in Gray, the Detachment Kit, Emma La Reina, Goes Cube, and the Diggs are playing - among many more. Details here.
